Gain smoother shifts.

Overhaul the old, worn-out shift cables and housing on your road bike with the Shimano Optislick Derailleur Cable and Housing Set. This set comes with everything you need to replace your front and rear shift cables and housing on your road bike. Stainless steel shift cables are highly corrosion-resistant, with an Optislick coating for smoother shifts and greater longevity. Sealed end caps keep out mud and grit encountered on the trail. Shimano's SP41 cable housing uses a special silicone grease for lighter shifting actuation. Please note, the included shift cables attach to both SRAM and Shimano derailleurs.

Like new shifting.

A great way to get your shifting back to tip-top shape. Cables are slick and slide into the housing very smoothly. Plus it comes with all the housing endcap and cable tips. Invest in these and half-hour of work and you'll be rewarded with crisp shifting.

Shifting poorly?....inspect your cables and housing (depending on how much you ride), at a minimum, twice a riding season. Poor shifting may be a result of your cable and housing being old and worn out.

One sure fire way to check this is to look at the end of your cable housing to see if the plastic sheath has been pushed back exposing the inner strands. If this is the case, you need to replace these parts.

This kit is everything you need (for ROAD bikes) to get this done. If you are replacing MTB cables, you'll need more housing than what's provided in this kit.

great housing

Familiarity: I've used it several times

this derailer cable is nice, easy to set up comes with all the pieces to put it all together and the housing is great. The housing can take a beating, overall great product delivers exactly what is needed for a good derailer cable.

Smooth shifting!

Bashed my cable a few seasons ago and until recently had no issues with the shifting. Overtime the plastic wore out and exposed cables rusted causing my shifting to completely suck - slowed, skips a gear, etc. Replacing it was super easy and quick, this cable did the trick, shifts beautifully!
